"The Mystery of Metaphor" Contest


Metaphors permeate the lyrics of Jars of Clay and are often sited as a component of Jars' unique style. When you create a phrase, not routinely used, to describe an object and use it as a comparison to something else, you've created a metaphor. In our June contest, we've listed some of Jars of Clay's most well known metaphors! All we needed for you to do was to name the Jars' song which matches the metaphor! Easy?? You bet!!

June's contest winner had a choice of a Jar of Gems Cd, A City on a Hill Cd, or a Jars' T-shirt! A winner was determined by drawing from all correct entries. Congratulations Ana Cortez (ggwater@yahoo.com) for winning our June Contest!
